A loan helped a member to perform maintenance on her farm by fertilizing and clearing weeds.


Mirador De Rosales Group's story

Olga is a 36-year-old farmer who grows cacao and coffee, and also has a small shop in her house where she sells salchipollos (fried potatoes and chicken) for dinner in the afternoons and evenings.

She works hard for her four children who are 18, 15, 11, and 8 years old. Her greatest challenge over the last six years has been to grow her cacao and coffee production. Through this loan she hopes to perform maintenance on her farm by fertilizing and clearing weeds. This will earn her a better, higher quality product, which she will sell at a fair price.

Her greatest dream is to improve her house by making it out of concrete. She wants to provide her family with a better home, and before that she wants to grow her salchipollo business in her home.

Olga is a hardworking, responsible, and early-rising person who sets a high bar for her work.
